Integrated earthquake simulation (IES) is a system to estimate possible earthquake hazard and disaster which can take place in an urban area by means of seamless numerical computation. High-performance computing (HPC) is enhanced so that IES is able to simulate a larger area in a shorter time, by improving the system architecture and adding new elements which smoothens the system's efficiency. It is shown in numerical experiments (which are carried out for actual urban areas) that the performance of IES enhanced with HPC is satisfactory. A new system is developed to generate a hazard map which depicts earthquake damages in higher spatial resolution by taking advantage of IES enhanced with HPC. It is shown that such maps can be generated for Tokyo metropolis in half a day.
